Cisco announces an upcoming orderability change for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch supervisors, power supplies, and chassis bundles. As of July 31, 2003 the existing chassis bundles will be orderable as configured systems, no longer as bundled individual units. As of August 29, 2003 redundant power supplies and redundant supervisors will be orderable through quantity selection, rather than through a separate (redundant) model number.
Service prices for Cisco products are subject to change after the product End of Sale date.
